The mountains still remember it: The Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) was grazing someone’s goats. The Thor Mountain still remembers the scene as well as the heavens. It has been centuries since the mountain is standing its place and is still witness of the fact that once it touched the bare feet of the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم). Although he (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) was blessed by the Allah Almighty to turn the big mountain of Uhad with single command into gold, from whose blessed figures there emerge spring s of water, whose single command suffices food for as big as an army of 12000. He has given a message to the poor of this Ummah that if they are poor and could not afford a comfortable life due to lack of money, then still they should not give up as their Master (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) did not have even shoes on his feet nor had a cloth on his head to protect from the heat but still he did not abandon his firm belief in the Allah Almighty.
Today you should make yourself a slave of that prophet even if you could not support yourself and are deprived of all the basic needs of life but no worries if you still keep your faith in His blessed Messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم). That time would come very soon when your Sustainer will nourish you and your generations and would bestow upon you His limitless Favours. This is my message to you that obeying the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) in all thick and thin is a key to success. If you have been blessed with happiness, then remember his beloved messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) in happy hours and if you are going through hard times then still remember that even the beloved messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) himself went through turmoil and hardships. He had to experience so many sorrows. When his son Hadhrat Ibrahim (May Allah be pleased with him) died, he was continuously crying with tears flowing over his cheeks while he was holding him to his blessed chest. He was so grief stricken in his heart. He (peace be upon him) lost his sons and daughter during his lifetime. He also had to bear with the grief of bereavement of his favourite wife Hadhrat Khadija (رضی اللہ عنہا). The lesson for us is that he (Peace be upon him) suffered from all these hardships but what was the condition of his heart in these stressful hours? How were his relations with his Lord almighty? How were his dealings both inside and outside his home? We need to keep our hearts in that state.
I wish if I am sold in Madinah as the slave of the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم). So we should be the slave of our beloved messenger (Peace be upon him) and follow his noble footsteps by becoming a slave of the messenger, slave of Muhammad and slave of Ahmed (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him)
Necessities of life:
My respected friends! There are some necessities without which one cannot survive. For example, eating is our necessity, drinking is our necessity, marrying is our necessity, wearing clothes is our necessity, protecting ourselves from the burning sun is our necessity, protecting from the freezing cold is our necessity and the Allah Almighty also made us feel their significance e.g. Our stomach will be empty if we don’t eat anything, the thirst would stay unquenched if we don’t drink. Sometimes the necessity comes face to face with the command of Allah Almighty.
Human Instinct:
Everyone has an instinct of their own and everyone thinks that he is being nourished when his necessities are being provided to him. The wife says that if her husband does not go to work then how the children will be brought up. if the husband does not do his trade or becomes busy in his industry then how the children be supported and then the husband also thinks that it is his shop, job or trade responsible for sustaining his family.
A bird like belief:
These are the words of saying of our beloved messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) that if a person’s faith turns like those of birds who depart from their nests in the morning while empty handed and then return in the evening with plenty of food and they are sustained by the Ultimate Sustainer. Similarly, Allah Almighty blesses his slaves with ‘Dast-e-ghaib’ He does not even let the necessities appear as these are the needs of the people which make them their slaves. A man eeds food, water, moving around, sitting down, yearning for warmth and coolness, thirst or hunger. Another form of this Divine Sustenance (Dast-e-Gaib) is that Allah provides without even asking Him and grants all the wishes without even being wished for. He fulfills the wishes and then even not let that wish arise again. He enables the man to live without a yearn for his wishes and that happens only when a man becomes a Godly man and keeps the Almighty in his mind every moment, every second and every breath of his life.
Teach me reciting Allah:
Once a woman came to a Godly man and requested him to teach her how to remember Allah. The Godly man said it was very easy for her to learn it. Then he added that when she sent her children to school or college then if she becomes forgetful of them or keeps them in her mind. She said that she keeps on thinking about them that they would be studying then or playing in the playground and she becomes concerned if they might hurt themselves after falling in the playground. If the kid is young then she remains concerned about their hunger, thirst and toilet needs and she always kept on thinking about them.
